Unlike expensive and hard to use waveform monitors, the BBG-1078-ANC-MON shows status in “plain language” on-screen overlays. Unlike typical test equipment, its user interface is designed from the ground up to be used by everyday operations personnel and not just engineers. The status burn-in is available on the card SDI output as well as a convenience HDMI output that can be directly connected to a wall monitor.

In addition to its user interface, the BBG-1078-ANC-MON can integrate with automation systems via its serial, GPIO, IP and SNMP interfaces. The 9978-ANC-MON is an unprecedent first in a compact standalone form factor that fits in your existing environment without the need for expensive, delicate, bulky test gear. Depending on the ANC data you want to monitor, the BBG-1078-ANC-MON is available with options to support many data packages such as SCTE 104, 608-XDS, AFD and others, providing not just presence/absence status but also interpreters that parse the payload and display it as a burn-in. Options also include a continuously running display of ATSC A/85 LKFS loudness.

A built-in web server that allows control/monitor over computers or smart devices from anywhere accessible over the web; no special apps or plug-ins are required for remote control (can also be remote-controlled using DashBoard™). The compact 1/3-rack size of the BBG-1078-ANC-MON allows 3 units to be installed in a 1RU space (an optional mounting tray is available that provides secure mounting of the units to a standard 19” frame). GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring.
